  abstract = {{B}ufavirus ({B}u{V}) and human parvovirus 4 ({PARV}4) belong to the {P}arvoviridae family. {W}e assessed {B}u{V} and {PARV}4 {DNA} presence by real-time {PCR} analysis in stool, blood and respiratory samples collected in patients from {M}arseille and {N}ice, two large cities in the {S}outh-{E}ast of {F}rance. {B}u-{V} {DNA} was detected in diarrheic stool samples from 92 patients (3.6% of 2583 patients), particularly men and adults, and patients from the nephrology and the infectious disease departments. {A}mong the patients with a {B}u{V}-positive stool sample and for whom at least one blood sample was available (n = 30 patients), {B}u{V} {DNA} was detected also in 3 blood samples. {I}n contrast, {B}u{V} {DNA} was not detected in any of the respiratory samples from 23 patients with {B}u{V}-positive stool. {B}u{V} detection rate was comparable in stool samples from patients with and without diarrhea. {W}e did not detect {PARV}4 {DNA} in any of the stool specimens (n = 2583 patients). {O}ur results suggest that {PARV}4 fecal-oral transmission is rare or non-existent in the {S}outh-{E}ast of {F}rance while {B}u{V} circulates with a relatively high rate in this area.},
